Alumni Panel: Balancing Kids, Parenting and the Codesmith Immersive

Alumni Panel: Balancing Kids, Parenting and the Codesmith Immersive

We sat down with Codesmith Alums, and parents, Eric Saldivar (Software Engineer @ Mindbody), Eugene Lee (Software Engineer @ Capital One), and Kristin Tillotson (Software Engineer @ Codesmith), to discuss how they navigated balancing their parental responsibilities during the Immersive. They shared some tips on how to prepare and manage the day-to-day of the Codesmith Immersive and provided insight into what life looks like beyond.
